The task of following these feelings and hunting down these defenceless lands wasn’t that easy. The closest lands to this place were all safe and easy to collect.
But the army formed by one hundred lords didn’t just include lords from nearby regions. Many came from far away places, few even took me ten hours to reach there!
And that meant more time for the other lords surrounding these lands to take the chance and come and fight to claim these defenceless lands.
This was something that forced me to summon the newly joined Reapers to tear apart these forces and kill them all.
Sigh! What the heck was wrong with this world exactly? Their lords never moved a finger against each other under normal circumstances.
But whenever a new territory would sprout like mine or become defenceless like these lords, things would turn all crazy.
At some battle, I killed over thirty lords with my glaive, making me inwardly sigh. It looked like what I started turned into such a growing snowball, showing no end to it!
Yet gradually things started to grow calm again when I kept fighting for over five days here. I started to claim lands without owners, without having to fight anyone or any lord.
That was thanks to my great killing spree that I started everywhere I went for the past few days.
That left behind entire regions without a single lord left in them.
Damn lord! What the heck was wrong in these people’s minds? If they were this eager for power, why didn’t they start fighting before all this?
Why wait for such a chaotic gamble to occur, trying to come out as the last winner in the end.
Like this, everything they tried hard to achieve ended up in my hands. It wasn’t bad, but as it kept repeating it became boring.
Well… I still got someone like Berry to add more enthusiasm to such a boring world.
Taking all the lands I conquered so far took me almost ten days. Each land I merged with mine ended up giving my land a boost in size and strength, besides it also gave me a cube and forces.
Most of the forces were stationed either at the scattered battlefields or at back at the two major ones. After finishing up taking all the lands, I had to fetch for the scattered soldiers by sending out my Reapers and soulers.
I didn’t want to go on such a dull trip and gather up all the scattered forces in such a huge and vast region.
“Finally you are back!” When I returned back to the huge army of mine, I found Lucas standing on the front, and Loran by his side.
She looked bored. Girl! If you were feeling like that, then you should have come with me to know what boredom meant!
“I had lots of things to do,” I didn’t give too much explanation or heed to the matter, “where is Lang? Shouldn’t he be here by now?”
I knew I asked Tom to release him. But I didn’t see either of them right here.
“That lord, Tom, went to bring him and yet never returned,” Lucas said while Loran gave me a weird look.
“Are you perhaps asking about that swindler lord? The one who schemed many in the past?” she seemed to hold a grudge against Lang.
As I accepted him under my wing, it was my duty to clear his name as well. If he was a swindler in the past, then if he schemed and tricked lords from now on it should all be for my interest.
“Ahem,” I cleared my throat, “I took him in.”
“Took him in?!!” her eyes widened, “come on! Tell me this is a joke! That motherf*cker doesn’t deserve to live!”
“Easy there, I taught him a good lesson…”
“You don’t understand! He peeked at me before! How can this be counted then?” seemingly reading through what I was going to say, she blurted out in such a way, making me unable to refute her.
This crazy bastard… I thought he had a line for his wrong deeds!
This… Was simply a headache.
“I won’t reconcile with him! No matter how long it passed, no matter who ordered me to stop, I won’t stop until I’m having his two eyes out of his head.”
Her words told me this wasn’t a decision she took on a whim just now. She already made up her mind to do something like this a long time ago.
And that enlightened me of why Lang didn’t come out yet.
It seemed that dude learnt about her presence and got scared to even show his face with my presence.
Sigh! At least he saved me the trouble of dealing with such a mess for now.
“Let’s go then,” I tried my best to jump over this matter, “we have to return to my land. I have lots of things left to do.”
This wasn’t a lie. I got my hands full during all this time here to expand my territory to the limit.
And now it was time to fill it with many things. Be it walls, towers, or even residential places for my forces… I got to start turning my barren land into a piece of heaven.
Then I’d leave this world for now and return to focus over my initial plans. Coming here was just a move I intended for so long and couldn’t achieve.
I didn’t regret it. In fact coming here was something I never expected to turn into such a chance.
But there was still a lot of work waiting for me back at home. My entire forces were training diligently, and I couldn’t slack just because I was their lord.
I got to prepare with everything I got for the upcoming two quests and my invasion plan.
“But…”
Just when I thought the two would move away and lead their forces towards my land, a look of struggle appeared on Loran’s beautiful face.
For a reason, her frown looked a bit amusing to the eye.
